I have 1 of these on my demo spec warlock, quite a nice boost of HP resulting in me not havng to use health funnel as much while in combat.

Comment by benedikta

This would be an additional 6 damage at level 46 with my current gear due to Demonic Knowledge.

I wonder if this could make Demo soloing with the VW a bit easier at higher levels.

Comment by synistrad

this is a really nioce glyph for afliction destro locks... why? if you are a demoniology warlock is obvius that u gonna use a felguard instead of a VW, but if you are a destro or afliction then a VW whit a great hp is just excelente for grind and lvl up faster

Comment by chriz2fer

Would be much better if it increased the void's threat generation instead of or in addition to this buff.

Comment by Cross88

This glyph does not have an immediate effect on your voidwalker if he's out when you apply it. If you resummon him, then you'll see the extra health.

Comment by Fingulfin

As for the usefulness of this Glyph, its great for any "aspiring" Warlock. I leveled my third warlock through the 20-30s with this glyph, it helped tremendously (VW had ~2k health at level 18 - which is impressive).

It truly does lose alot of appeal after that though, as Voidy sees less and less action as you progress. If you plan on using him as your tank all the way, it could keep its usefulness. Bottom line is, this is good for leveling and not much else.

At 51, my lock has about 2.9k HP as demo, her void has over 7.4k with this in. Its insane :O

Comment by chocolatechimp

at lvl 72 my void had 12.7 k and now has 15.06 k. I'm an affliction warlock that solos most of the time. I use my void walker as my tank, so this glyph helps alot.

NEW: Glyph of Falling Meteor - If you use Demonic Leap while falling, you slam into the ground rapidly and will not die from falling damage.

Comment by Eits

Tested this on 09/18/12. As other comments say, any fall damage that would kill you only brings you to 1 HP (incidentally, a super easy way to get Going Down?). However, it is possible to avoid all damage by using it right before hitting the ground like with the unglyphed ability. The window for pulling it off seems a bit smaller though (or maybe just higher up), perhaps due to what looks like a small speed increase when you activate the ability.

It also seems to give fall damage based on what height you are when you activate it (falling from extremely high up but activating slightly higher than the no damage window results in low fall damage), so err on the side of caution and use it higher than you'd think until you get the hang of it.

Comment by Therulnig

For all the posts saying this makes the ability worse - It doesn't at all. It just doesn't IMPROVE the ability if your timing was already good. The glyph doesn't change the mechanics of falling at all, it just prevents that last HP of damage between life and death.

Without the glyph: -You hit the ability at the right height and you take 0 damage. -You hit the ability at the wrong time (too soon or too late) and you are dead.

With the glyph:-You hit the ability at the right height and you take 0 damage. (No change)-You hit the ability at the wrong time and you are left with 1 HP instead of dying.

Comment by Reddayspring

Additional poor interactions with this glyph: Engineering $%^&*!s. Was in a Twin Peaks, demon jumped straight up for some extra height to glide out with the flag, got about 40 yards from Alliance base and meteor activated, killing my inertia and slowwwwwly dragging me down to the ground. On that day, no clean escapes were made.

Comment by Keelerak

Should be changed to remove the fall damage. The only excuse why it would not would be balance issues, but with all the slowfall effects that is clearly not the case.Seriously, just think about it:A mighty demon leaps off a sky-reaching peak and turns into meteorite of pure destruction. Finally the meteorite slams the ground, the demon rises from the crater and... a gnome warrior comes and kills him with the first autoattack.

Comment by irongar

Used this glyph today on my warlock. However, after some testing I died every single time. On low and high heights. Not sure what is wrong with it. I keep dieing and my falling damage is not reduced at all.

EDIT:

Made contact with a GM and confirmed that this glyph is currently bugged. Even with this glyph you get more falling damage taken then without the glyhph. My advice is to drop this glyph untill it is fixed, however, it has an awesome look! I'll definitly use it from time to time.

Comment by xalis007

after 5.1 it reduces most of falling damage , i fell from a height that would otherwise kill me and received only 25k damage (about 7% of my hp)

Comment by izaul

5.1: The meteor effect only lasts for one hit

Comment by jacqui835

You can fly to the top of the map, until you can't fly any higher, dismount and use this ability and the damage you take is negligible. Very handy ability to have. If you're like me, and you also like leaping off the top of stairs etc to see how far you can travel, your leap will automatically change you into a meteor if you have jumped too far and will otherwise take fall damage (although you will still take some fall damage).

Comment by Xoxotl

As of 5.1.0a, any fall damage you receive is almost negated by your passive warlock self-healing. I flew as high as I could over Stormwind, dismounted, and immediately activated Demonic Leap. I fell to the Trade District in the form of swirling purple ball of fel demonic death.

I took 53,983 points of damage, or roughly 14% of my total health pool. I regenerated this (out of combat) in about 3 seconds.

The only buff I had at the time was Dark Intent. I did not have a demon out.

I'll choose swirling purple ball of fel demonic death over chunky salsa any day of the week.

Comment by VexeraBH

As a demo lock who frequently solos WOTLK and earlier raids this glyph is by far my pick for most useful minor glyph; heck I'd even say it's more useful than a lot of the major glyphs.

There are so many bosses/trash mobs in older raids that use fall damage as a mechanic and this glyph almost totally protects you from it. Granted it still gives you some damage(At 418k HP I take about 26-30k damage from what would be a fatal fall) but as other people have stated the amount of damage you take is easily shrugged off and it's much better than getting killed.

Comment by Bogdanov89

Aside from almost removing fall damage, the meteor in which you travel will bring you to the ground MUCH faster that regular falling would - allowing you to resume your DPSing much sooner, especially if the fall distance was very high.

Comment by Pipkins

Some things to note:It changes depending on how far you travel. There is a limit (Say 40-50yds?), under which you travel on the ordinary trajectory of Demonic Leap and the meteor kicks in just as you hit the ground. Travel further than that and you automatically stop any forward movement, the meteor activates and you shoot straight downwards. It's similar to Ice Block in that if you fall against a cliff face, building etc. while in the meteor, you will slide down it until you hit a spot that can be stood on. Sometimes you'l hit a small nick or odd angle in the wall that is just enough to stand on, leaving you stood half way up a steep cliff. I've used this while lagging and occasionally seen the meteor fail to come into effect, resulting in me falling to my death. It will still activate when used over water and breaks after diving in a few feet.

Comment by BMHunterMain

I spent my last 15 Gold (just made a lock of a brand new server, auctioned off a couple battle pets to get enough gold for some bags) buying this for my Destro Lock. Not exactly the best purchase, considering that only Demo gets Demonic Leap.

Comment by MinisterJames

If you cast demonic leap while being carried by a Highwind Ablatross, demonic leap will do nothing and you will still be able to attack the bird, but falling meteor will activate when the bird dies and you fall.

Comment by MinisterJames

If you get disconnected in the middle of falling meteor, it will resume the next time you log in again.
